of termination of service at 

Rhinelander, Wisconsin 

Docket OST-2011-

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 323 

NINETY-DAY NOTICE OF 

TERMINATION OF SERVICE 

Pursuant to Part 323 of the Department of Transportation's Regulations (14 

C.F.R. Part 323), Mesaba Aviation, Inc., d/b/a Mesaba Airlines ("Mesaba"), a certificated 

carrier, hereby gives notice of its intent to discontinue service at Rhinelander, Wisconsin 

effective September 5, 2011. 

Mesaba provides unsubsidized service at Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Rhinelander 

also has 13 weekly scheduled flights by Chautauqua d/b/a Frontier Express operated 

with Embraer 135 regional jets on a Milwaukee - Rhinelander - Ironwood, MI (and 

return) routing, which would appear to meet Rhinelander's EAS service requirements. 

Chautauqua is currently receiving EAS subsidy for its through services to Ironwood. 

Current Mesaba schedules, as well as the competing schedules of Chautauqua/Frontier 

at Rhinelander are provided in the attached exhibit. 

Respectfully Submitted, 

Maximillian
